Seo Jang-hoon says sister moved to Canada to avoid resemblance

During a broadcast of "Knowing Bros" on the 14th, broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon revealed that his sister moved to Canada with her children to prevent them from identifying him as their uncle. He clarified that she originally went to study abroad for 10 years because she was annoyed by the possibility of people claiming she looked like him.

Broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon revealed a story where he attempted to correct misunderstandings regarding his beautiful sister, only to receive a direct protest from her. He shared how she went to study abroad because she disliked people thinking she looked like him, and later moved to Canada again with her children after she married and gave birth. While witnesses described his sister as a "beauty," Seo firmly denied this, sparking laughter.

During the broadcast of the JTBC entertainment program "Knowing Bros" on the 14th, the group ATEEZ appeared as guests to share various stories with the cast. YEOSANG from ATEEZ revealed that during his school years, his older sister drew attention because of his own appearance. "In middle school, I had a pretty face. My friends thought my sister would be pretty too and asked me to introduce her," YEOSANG recalled.

YEOSANG further revealed that his sister happened to be walking across from them at the time, adding, "Our eyes met, and she had an expression that said she would kill me if I acted like I knew her," which caused laughter in the studio. While the sister's reaction to the pressure of being noticed just for being a star's sibling provided humor, Seo Jang-hoon brought up his own sister, stating his situation was the complete opposite.

Seo Jang-hoon stated, "My sister went to study abroad because she was annoyed that people might say she looks like me. She returned to Korea after 10 years." He explained that she left the country because she hated the idea of being told she resembled her brother. However, the situation changed after she returned to Korea, married, and had children. "She married and had children in Korea, but then the children might go somewhere and say their uncle is me. So, she took the children and went back to Canada," Seo added.

Kang Ho-dong expressed surprise at the story, asking, "Is she not just pretending not to know, but actually leaving the country?" The cast burst into laughter at the unexpected family history. The story provided a humorous twist, moving from her leaving to avoid resemblance to her moving abroad again to prevent her children from mentioning their maternal uncle.

However, Seo Jang-hoon took a serious tone to correct the misunderstanding regarding his sister's appearance. "I told this story on another broadcast before, and an article was published saying she went to study abroad because she looks like me. But my sister does not look like me," he emphasized. His explanation was that she did not go abroad because she resembled him, but rather because she was offended by the possibility of people saying they looked alike despite not being similar.

Lee Soo-geun, who has actually seen Seo Jang-hoon's sister, testified to this. "When I talk about it, his sister is such a beauty. When you look at the sister after looking at Seo Jang-hoon, there is no match at all. They don't look alike even 1%," Lee said. His comment regarding the total lack of resemblance between the siblings increased curiosity about her actual appearance.

Despite the compliments, Seo Jang-hoon drew a firm line, stating, "She is not a beauty." His refusal to acknowledge the praise for his sister served as another comedic point. He reiterated, "It's not that she went to study abroad because she looks like me, but because she was annoyed that people would say they look alike when they don't."

The story became even more interesting when he revealed that he had received a direct protest from his sister following inaccurate news reports. "My sister rarely speaks to me, but she contacted me after seeing that article," Seo revealed, adding that she told him, "'Speak properly or don't speak at all.'" In response, Lee Sang-min quipped, "Her personality is exactly the same as yours," leaving the cast in laughter. The broadcast concluded with the witty observation that while the siblings do not look alike, their personalities regarding his words are identical.
